Esquerita

When you dig around into the history of pop / rock and roll / R & B, and you get off the beaten path a bit, the curiosities you find are fascinating.

Esquerita was a Little Richard wannabe from South Carolina, with a presentation and style similar to Richard but with a voice range about 2 octaves lower. This track comes from an LP I picked up at the Centennial Library.
